Ondo Global Markets Expands Tokenized Equity and ETF Reach Through Mirae Asset Agreement

Realistic hybrid fintech dashboard with glowing stock and ETF tokens linked by a blockchain weave, signaling on-chain assets

Ondo Finance has added 173 new tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds to Ondo Global Markets, expanding the platform to more than 430 listed assets across Ethereum, Solana and BNB Chain. The update was confirmed through Ondo’s official account, which framed the expansion as another step in bringing public-market exposure onchain.

The new asset batch includes tokenized exposure across several high-demand sectors, including artificial intelligence, quantum computing, critical materials, defense technology, data center energy and active BlackRock funds. The expansion shows how quickly tokenized asset catalogs can grow once issuance, custody and compliance infrastructure are already in place.

Mirae Asset Partnership Extends ETF Tokenization Push

The asset expansion follows a memorandum of understanding between Ondo and Mirae Asset Global Investments to tokenize Mirae’s Global X ETF lineup through Ondo Global Markets. The announcement identifies Mirae as one of Asia’s largest asset management firms and positions the agreement as a major institutional step for tokenized ETFs.

The first batch of Global X tokenized ETFs covers 10 thematic and income-focused products, including Space Innovation, AI & Technology, Robotics & AI, Silver Miners, Blockchain, Defense Tech, Lithium & Battery Tech, S&P 500 Covered Call, Digital Content Creators and Nasdaq 100 Covered Call exposure.

Under the MOU, the collaboration starts with U.S.-listed Global X ETFs and is expected to expand later to funds listed across Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, Canada and Australia. Mirae Asset remains the asset manager of the underlying ETFs, while Ondo provides tokenization infrastructure and distribution.

That arrangement marks a shift from third-party tokenized wrappers toward direct asset-manager participation. Instead of relying only on external platforms to recreate exposure, a traditional ETF manager is preparing to bring its own product lineup into blockchain-based distribution.

Tokenized Markets Move Toward Institutional Distribution

The strategic point is not only that Ondo is adding more assets. The larger development is the pairing of a broader tokenized securities catalog with an institutional ETF issuer, which could make onchain fund access more relevant to traditional asset managers.

Young Hwan Kim, president and head of the Global Business Division at Mirae Asset Global Investments, said tokenization could reshape the asset management industry. That framing gives the partnership a long-term infrastructure angle, rather than presenting it as a narrow listing expansion.

Ondo CEO Ian De Bode said Mirae’s decision to bring ETFs onchain through Ondo Global Markets shows that both retail and institutional investors are entering tokenization more seriously. For Ondo, the partnership strengthens its role as a distribution and infrastructure layer for regulated financial products.

Tokenized equity and fund products still operate under geographic and regulatory restrictions, with many offerings limited to qualified or non-U.S. investors. That gating remains central to how platforms manage access to public-market exposure onchain.

Ondo has expanded its tokenized asset catalog and tied that rollout to a major ETF tokenization partnership. The next test will be whether Global X tokenized products develop meaningful liquidity, clear custody mechanics and durable institutional usage across supported markets.
